The Global Supply Chain Pressure Index (GSCPI) reached 1.28 in September, marking a four-month high. This figure follows an upward revision of the August data, which was adjusted from 1.06 to 1.20. The index, maintained by the New York Fed since 1997, uses transportation costs and manufacturing metrics to measure supply chain conditions.
Historical data shows the index peaked at 4.43 in December 2021. More recently, the GSCPI hit 1.81 in May, driven by trade disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz that increased fuel costs. The last period of lower-than-average pressure occurred in November 2025, when the index stood at -0.21.
Separately, the Port of Los Angeles reported significant cybersecurity activity. In August, the facility blocked over 120 million cyberattacks. The port's security team identified various threats, including malware, network exploitation, credential harvesting, and unauthorized intrusion attempts.
